Summary:
"The notorious Woodville
family
: the fate of the Princes in the Tower and witchcraft allegations against
Elizabeth
and her mother. In 1464, the most eligible bachelor in
England
,
Edward
IV
, stunned the nation by revealing his secret marriage to
Elizabeth
Woodville, a beautiful, impoverished widow whose father and brother
Edward
himself had once ridiculed as upstarts.
Edward
's controversial match brought his
queen
's large
family
to court and into the thick of the Wars of the Roses. The story of the
family
whose fates would be inextricably intertwined with the fall of the Plantagenets and the rise of the Tudors: Richard, the squire whose marriage to a duchess would one day cost him his head; Jacquetta, mother to the
queen
and accused witch;
Elizabeth
, the commoner whose royal destiny would cost her three of her sons; Anthony, the scholar and jouster who was one of Richard III's first victims; and
Edward
, whose military exploits would win him the admiration of Ferdinand and Isabella. Includes little-known material such as private letters and wills"--Provided by publisher.
